At least eight people have been killed at a school shooting in Santa Fe in  Texas. The exact death toll is unknown in what is likely to be the 22nd school shooting in the US this year. Ed Gonzales, the Harris County Sheriff, confirmed between eight and 10 people had been killed. Others are also reported to have been injured including one girl who was shot in the leg.  In all 12 people were being treated at local hospitals.

Symantec   ( SYMC )  stock plunged 33% in early trading Friday on the news.  Symantec Corp's (SYMC.O) shares sank by more than a third on Friday after the cyber-security firm said it was investigating concerns raised by a former employee but gave little other detail, spooking investors and Wall Street analysts.

Stock market basics The stock market is made up of exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. Stocks are listed on a specific exchange, which brings buyers and sellers together and acts as a market for the shares of those stocks.

Individual traders are typically represented by a broker — these days, that’s often an online broker. You place your stock trades through the broker, which then deals with the exchange on your behalf. The NYSE and the Nasdaq are open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, with premarket and after-hours trading sessions also available, depending on your broker.
